Walled Garden Including East Gateway, Darnaway Castle

The Walled Garden at Darnaway Castle dates from the later 18th or early 19th century and features a large square garden enclosed by rubble walls topped with a tooled ashlar coping. There are entrances located to the north and west, with an additional entrance on the east side designed in the style of Sir Robert Lorimer around 1925. This eastern entrance is marked by a pair of tall polished ashlar piers that have ribbed and blocked pilaster strips on either side, rising to moulded cornice caps that support finials shaped like (deer?) hounds. The entrance also includes a pair of decorative wrought-iron gates beneath a matching overthrow, which displays a gilded coat of arms and features gilded berry detailing in its foliate decoration.
